I've not been able to leave a review, my podcast service  does not do reviews.I really like your more mature non bias approach to Nintendo related stuff. You are not afraid to point out when something is bad with Nintendo.A couple of quick questions about Splatoon 2.I really enjoyed the splat fests, but I hate giving my T shirt back, do you think it would be good to keep them ? the rest of the game gives out new clothing all over the place, yet takes your splat fests  T back as soon as the event is over. It would be nice in a couple of years to go over the collection just to see what splat fests you had taken part in.Do you think they will ever add offline play for the multi player modes ? I.E play turf war with bots ? I play MK8D battle mode with bots all the time, and it's not too bad.Please keep up the good work.Karl.

One of the conversations was about Salmon Run and playing it locally. We both love Salmon Run, and I love how you can get different things for playing Salmon Run (special shirts, hats etc.). My friend said "I wonder how and if the Salmon Run is different if you just play locally instead of playing online". Now the online Salmon Run, as we all know, is at certain times/days. Whereas the local Salmon Run you can do whenever. I just said, without really thinking, "It's probably the same thing, but I doubt you get rewards for playing it".  He quickly came back with (snobby voice) "Why would anyone play Salmon Run if you don't get anything for it?"(I should also add that I really don't know how Salmon Run is different from online to local play; I didn't try it, but that’s not the point)This brings me to the main point of this email.I feel like we're getting more into this routine where online multiplayer games need to give you some sort of "rewards" for playing the game. I don't play many online competitive games, but thinking of games like Call of Duty or something, you level up your account, level up your weapons, etc. The game is always giving you something the more you play. You can unlock different mods for weapons, different gear or abilities. It's tough for me to think of an online multiplayer game that doesn't have a system like this. How important is it for new games to give you "something" the more you play?Would Salmon Run be as fun if there were no rewards for it? Are we moving into a new time where we don't just play games for "fun" anymore? Do we need something to make all our work feel like it's worth it?I'm curious to see where games go from here. I think it would be difficult for a new game to come out without some sort of level up system and unlockables. However, the main point of any game is to have fun and enjoy the time you invest into that game. When he said why would anyone play Salmon Run if you don't get anything for it, I wanted to slap him and say "Because it's fun!!!".Anyway, this sounded way better in my head. I hope you get the main point I'm going for. I'd love to hear your take on this.Thanks for taking the time to read this, and thank your for all the entertainment.-Jon/Link31254NewsNintendo World Championships 2017!Any Controller possibly coming to Switch Sorry Joeseph
